Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Jaywalking in the United States is a made up "crime" that was literally a psyop campaign....
funded by automakers
because their cars were killing pedestrians
So they turned it back around on the victims. "Jay" was a negative slang at the time for someone who was a gullible rural person.

I'm not especially opposed to driverless cabs, but I'm fucked if I'm giving up my ancestral British right to cross the road anywhere if it's safe for me to do so. "Jaywalking" isn't a thing or a crime here, techbros, so your magic cars will have to learn to deal with that.
Politics London discussing driverless taxis casually referring to “jaywalking pedestrians”.
Jaywalking is not a thing in UK law.
Transport for London and Government had better not be asleep at the wheel on this.

important not to underestimate the visceral discomfort of this: having something personal and unique stolen, copied, and exploited for money.
There is no way this is a coincidence. I worked with David at @npr.org, and NotebookLM sounds *precisely* like him, including his conversational cadence.
He spent decades perfecting his voice. Now he says Google stole it.
NPR’s David Greene says he was “completely freaked out” when he heard an AI voice that sounded just like his own, and he’s suing over it.
